Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new and improved receiver coil or receiver coil arrangement for a programmable projectile fuze comprising a coil core upon which there is located a winding or coil.
- a programmable projectile fuze for example as disclosed in the published European Patent Application No. 0,300,255, published Jan. 25, 1989 and the cognate U.S. Pat. No. 4,862,785, granted Sep. 5, 1989, comprises an apparatus for setting a counter for triggering a fuze, especially a delayed action or time fuze, located in the projectile after firing of such projectile.
- the counter is inductively set by a transmitter coil secured forwardly or downstream of the muzzle of the weapon by means of a receiver coil located within the projectile.
- the receiver coil is mounted upon a coil body.
- At least 12 bits must be transmitted from the transmitter coil to the receiver coil.
- the projectile has a muzzle velocity of, for example, about 1200 meters per second
- the flight of the receiver coil of the projectile through the transmitter coil secured at the muzzle of the weapon barrel occurs in a relatively short amount of time, so that only very little time is available for transmission of data or information from the transmitter coil to the receiver coil. Therefore, high frequencies are required for the transmission of such data or information.
- the coil core can be formed of aluminum.
- the positive and negative amplitudes of the induced voltage are asymmetrical in the case of an aluminum core and not of the same magnitude in opposite directions.
- Another and more specific object of the present invention aims at the provision of an improved receiver coil arrangement for a programmable projectile fuze which avoids the aforenoted drawbacks and protects the coil winding or coil of the projectile fuze against eddy current fields.
- Still a further noteworthy object of the present invention concerns the provision of an improved receiver coil arrangement for a programmable projectile fuze which affords reliable transmission of data from the transmitter coil to the receiver coil arrangement with a fuze construction which nonetheless possesses relatively low weight.
- the receiver coil or receiver coil arrangement for a programmable projectile fuze of the present development is manifested, among other things, by the features that an insert or insert member is arranged between the coil core and coil winding or coil which shields or screens the coil winding or coil against eddy current fields.
- an insert in the form of a thin, for instance, about 0.05 millimeter thick steel band is inserted between a coil winding or coil formed of copper and a coil core formed of aluminum.
- This steel band dampens the magnetic fields of the transmitter coil with such an intensity at the coil core formed of aluminum that there are generated practically no eddy currents. Eddy currents are likewise formed at the steel band, but such are appreciably smaller due to the greater eddy current resistance R (fe) of the iron.
- the aforementioned insert or insert member composed of a steel band has two different functions:
- the receiver coil arrangement of the present invention behaves in the manner of a coil mounted at a coil core formed of steel.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a longitudinal sectional view through a muzzle of a weapon barrel equipped with an apparatus for measuring the muzzle velocity and with a transmitter coil for transmission of data or information to a projectile which departs from the weapon barrel muzzle;
- FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through a projectile according to a second embodiment
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view through the projectile fuze of the arrangement of FIG. 2 serving for providing a detailed explanation of the present invention.
- FIG. 3A is an enlarged detail sectional view of a modified construction of insert member of the projectile fuze comprising a convoluted steel foil provided at one side or face with an electrically insulating layer.
- the weapon barrel muzzle 10 is surrounded by a three-member cage or cage structure 11, 12 and 13 which protrudes beyond the weapon barrel muzzle 10.
- a first measuring coil 14 In the intermediate part 12 of the cage 11, 12 and 13 there is located a first measuring coil 14 and in the forward or downstream part 13 of this cage 11, 12 and 13 there is located a second measuring coil 15 and a transmitter coil 16.
- the conventional manner of attachment of the three-member cage 11, 12 and 13 at the weapon barrel muzzle 10 and the interconnection of the three members of such three-member cage 11, 12 and 13 with one another is well known in the art, and thus, need not be here additionally considered or illustrated, particularly since such does not constitute subject matter of the invention nor is the same necessary for understanding of the inventive concepts.
- Lines or conductors 17 and 18 serve for supplying electrical energy to both of the measuring coils 14 and 15.
- a number of soft iron rods 19, of which only two are visible in the showing of FIG. 1, are incorporated within the three-member cage 11, 12 and 13 for shielding the entire measuring installation against spurious or disturbing effects due to magnetic fields.
- the transmitter coil 16 comprises a single winding 20 and a coil body 21.
- a projectile 22 moves in the direction of the arrow A through the apparatus for measuring the starting velocity of the projectile 22 and for transmitting data or information, in other words, this projectile 22 travels through both of the measuring coils 14 and 15 and also through the transmitter coil 16.
- this transmitter coil 16 comprises a single winding 20 and furthermore is relatively small.
- the time t required by the projectile 22 to move from the measuring coil 14 to the measuring coil 15. From the known spacing a between these two measuring coils 14 and 15 and this time t there can be computed the muzzle velocity V o a/t.
- V o of the projectile 22 it is possible to compute the time required for the projectile 22 to reach the target. Consequently, a delayed action or time fuze 24 arranged in the projectile 22 can be adjusted or set such that the projectile 22 is ignited at the region of the target.
- the time needed by the projectile 22 to reach the target after exiting from the weapon barrel muzzle 10 is transmitted in digital form from the transmitter coil 16 to a receiver coil 25 located in the projectile 22. As is usually the case and known in the art, such transmission is accomplished by magnetic induction.
- At least twelve pulses should be transmitted from the transmitter coil 16 to the receiver coil 25.
- the projectile 22 moves through the transmitter coil 16 with a velocity of approximately 1200 meters per second it is necessary to transmit the twelve pulses at a relatively high frequency at the proper point in time.
- the proper point in time for the transmission of the pulses is determined with the aid of the forward measuring coil 15 of the apparatus for measuring the muzzle velocity V o .
- the pulses arrive from the receiver coil 25 through a filter 29 at a counter 32 which is connected with the delayed action fuze 24.
- circuitry for achieving the explained pulse transmission is well known in the art, as exemplified, for instance, by the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 4,862,785, granted Sep. 5, 1989, to which reference may be readily had and the disclosure of which is incorporated in its entirety by reference.
- a so-called base fuze 40 is threadably secured by threading 42 or equivalent connection means at the rear end of a projectile 41.
- the individual elements of the base fuze 40 are located internally of a fuze housing or casing 43a which also functions as a coil core 43a and forms in conjunction with a winding or coil 23 the previously mentioned receiver coil or receiver coil arrangement 25.
- An insulating layer 44 protects the winding or coil 23 against damage due to the presence of the hot propellant gases.
- the construction of the fuze is known to the art and thus need not be here further considered.
- an insert or insert member 45 is located between the coil or winding 23 formed, for instance, of copper wire and the coil core 15 43 formed of aluminum and defined by the fuze housing or casing 43a.
- This insert or insert member 45 preferably comprises a steel band, for example, formed of ferro-electric material having high permeability ⁇ which is equal to or greater than 100.
- a steel band thickness of 0.05 mm. is sufficient to protect the coil or winding 23 against an eddy current field.
- this steel band of the insert or insert member 45a can comprise a one-sided insulated steel foil 50 possessing a number of convolutions or coils 52, wherein the electrically insulating layer 54 can be formed of a glass-fiber reinforced epoxy resin.
